between romney and obama, they are both in the pinocchio rains. average, there's not that much difference. for the republican primary candidates, there were some that were higher than others. michele bachman i think had the highest. >> ready we had a self-imposed mission all -- michele bachman quota. >> again, you don't know what it necessarily tells you. it's just kind of a fun thing to look at. but it does provide links to every single fact check i or my colleague have done for all the presidential candidates. >> here. >> excuse me. >> good morning. david, george mason university. in the campaign so far both candidates are in vulnerable positions of being challenged on flip-flops' of positions or promises not kept. and i've noticed so far that the tendency of both governor romney and president obama were challenged by a voter or a journalist is to not attempt to say well, the facts have changed. the facts are different. the fact is i look at now are not the facts that existed when that was my belief. instead, there are sort of various levels of

both sides are downplaying expectations. president barack obama and republican presidential hopeful mitt romney will square off on the issues in their first side- by-side showdown of this race. >> i think the winner will be declared by the american people based on what the two candidates say and who lays out a vision for the future, some policy details. >> tonight the debate will focus on domestic issues including the economy, health care, and the role of government. the candidates are preparing and many are weighing in on what they need to do. >> i don't think mitt romney has to win this debate. he needs to show that he is presidential and compassionate. >> the president is all about his mannerisms and his style. i think he cannot come across as charitable or impatient. he has to act like he wants to be there and maybe smile a lot. >> tonight could be a critical moment. for both moment according poll, mr. obama holds a 51% to 43% lead in ohio. in virginia and florida, romney is also trailing, but the numbers are much closer
